Luke:5:1-11
nsb@Luke:5:1 @ Jesus stood by the Lake of Gennesaret as the crowds pressed in upon him in order to hear the word of God.
nsb@Luke:5:2 @ He saw two boats docked by the shore. The fishermen had gone away from them and were washing their nets.
nsb@Luke:5:3 @ He boarded one of the boats. It was Simons boat. He asked him to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the crowds from the boat.
nsb@Luke:5:4 @ When he finished speaking he asked Simon to put into deep water and let down the nets for a catch.
nsb@Luke:5:5 @ Simon answered, Master we worked all night and caught nothing. At your word I will let down the nets.
nsb@Luke:5:6 @ When they did this they caught a large number of fish and their nets were breaking.
nsb@Luke:5:7 @ They called their partners in the other boat to come and help them. They filled both boats until they began to sink.
nsb@Luke:5:8 @ When Simon Peter saw this he fell down at Jesus knees. He said: »Depart from me for I am a sinful man, O Lord.«
nsb@Luke:5:9 @ He and all who were with him were amazed at the catch of fish.
nsb@Luke:5:10 @ So were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. Jesus said to Simon: »Do not fear. From now on you will catch men.«
nsb@Luke:5:11 @ After they brought their boats to land they left all and followed him.
